I tried to convince my five-year-old once that the big hawk was simply playing tag with the little squirrel!<br />Thanks for stopping by.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111306071129556528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451364439184994739.post-79156531557178237912010-07-31T15:41:54.214-04:002010-07-31T15:41:54.214-04:00Oh, we have hawks too...and owls, which we don'...Oh, we have hawks too...and owls, which we don't see during the day! Lots of squirrels around our neighborhood, I'm sure that's why the birds love it here. I am always torn, because I think the birds are so majestic and cool when they swoop around, but I don't want them to eat the little critters!! How dumb is that??Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980063502482258767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451364439184994739.post-32923807168474289962010-07-31T10:22:04.432-04:002010-07-31T10:22:04.432-04:00Eyes like a hawk?

Vultures, unmistakably ugly beasts, eat dead things, which is actually a good thing, too, if you think about it. Keep ranting!

That would be vultures (which are prevalent in my neck of the woods). Hawks are predators. They do eat various rodents, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and even other birds. My mother had a pigeon adopt her house as its new home, and she got very attached to the pigeon and named it Brownie. But Mom also has lots of hawks and even a pair of eagles that inhabit the area surrounding her house. So she and her friend did what they could to build shelter for Brownie to protect him/her from the hawks, but they knew that it would only be a matter of time. A few months after Brownie showed up, he suddenly disappeared with only a patch of feathers in the yard as an indication of what happened. The hawks finally got him. But that is nature, and there's nothing that can really be done about it. Hawks have even been known to grab small dogs and cats. Anything smaller than them is fair game.nfmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677291537193518055noreply@blogger.com
